It's these fucked up eugenicists who are trying to strip men of their masculinity and women of their femininity. It's politically incorrect to even embrace ones masculinity/femininity these days and now we're just left with Lena Dunhams

I'm trying to explain to you why people get riled up about stereotypes prejudice etc

Yeah well, the fact is that stereotypes exist because there usually is some truth in them. Trying to outright obliterate all stereotypes even if true just because it's considered a stereotype is dangerous and a threat to free-speech.

Its because that's all she ever does. is that what you think women are? Damsels in distress with culinary skillz?

dude 4real he cannot think on that level. this kind of critical thinking is way beyond the crude mind of his. most of us netphorians have all been privilege enough to get a good education... which boils down to we receive training in how to ask important questions and critique the world around us and learn to think in abstract and see patterns at larger levels of thought and behaviour.

when you see conservartive knee jerk reaction to things like for example baby it is so cold outside, it is an emotional reaction based on instinct to resist change or thinking critically about something which is easier to just accept becsuse naturally humans are superstitious, magical thinkers who like the world to be simple black and white. a good education is learning to identify how empericism and science lead to better more accurate results in the rea l world even if they arent as emotionally satisfying to our animalist desires.

so fuzzyroes not having had this privilege, instead of thinking "hm hey may be if i read these lyrics and considers what they sound like outside the context of not wanting to change my mind about any things ever, they actually do seem kind of weird and maybe the fact that this was just excepted and not question in past is because society was more tolerant of men oppressing and domineering women," no no instead he just feels a pang of revulsion and fear that someone is trying to change his little world.

that's fine and dandy, but there's nothing offensive when traditional gender roles just so happen to be taking place either.

Sure, except in your example "traditional gender roles" means a woman who is weak, incapable of standing up for herself and servile to her man. And that only the man by the goodness of his action, his incredible might and/or abilities can save her from peril.

What is actually bothersome and does need to change, is the message being hammered constantly into the heads of every young woman to be everything men want them to be. Men are the end-game, meant to be catered to.
I don't know you can even truly understand what that's like.

But whatever, you probably think dressing women in catsuits and doing the impossible butt and face facing the camera pose is empowering to women.

Location: I'm surprised you guys are so big on rap, considering it's the most masochistic music of any genre.

It's true that sometimes there is some truth to stereotypes. Here's one example where there is a problem:

Are jews more likely to be bankers than others? Probably a little, although I have no idea and neither do you because you just lap up the stereotype. Not to mention, even if it is true, that doesn't mean they are part of some conspiracy. But when you/ (Fuzzy specifically) see or read about a Jewish Banker all of a sudden they are part of some Jewish Conspiracy because of the stereotype that jews are evil NWO hucksters.
